Psalms 113

1 Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD!

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth, even for ever!

3 People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

From the rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!

4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

7 [Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

8 and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.

9 He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
